The 2006-2007 Ethics Program Speaker Series concludes on
April 17 with a dialogue between Hillel Norry, a Rabbi
at Congregation Shearith Israel (a conservative, egalitarian congregation
in Atlanta) and Mark Douglas, an Associate Professor
of Christian Ethics at Columbia Theological Seminary. They will discuss
what they see their religions suggest about the proper relationship between
human beings and the rest of creation. The Hebrew and Christian Bibles'
views about our relationship to other species, and our responsibilities
to future generations will also be included.
In conjunction with this event, we have compiled a bibliography
consisting of books and journal articles on Jewish and Christian views
on the environment and environmental ethics.
